Blah blah and more blah...this after the author knows the incident she herself has described at the beginning of the article. A better header would have been - "Horrid men, don't expect your wives to treat you like you are human, because you are not." Women are the only human beings around, right?
Such family matters should be seen on case by case basis. I am sure Supreme Court has made judgement on evidences and facts presented that are applicable to that family. and i agree no one can consider/treat any one as servant and it is applicable to Husband & Wife both.
But it is always a case, for peace & harmony, some pain has to be taken by Husband & Wife both. and it is not easy for Boys as well. Most of us from our generation are very lazy and want every thing without making any efforts, this is case with both Girls & Boys. and they tend to hide behind words like "Freedom", "My Wish", "Modern Thinking". but actually it is their negative ego.
In older age both Parents & In-Laws need support and we should remember the sacrifices made by them for us.
It is not western society who are developed countries, where parents leave their children at age of 18 (good for them because those countries have good job opportunities & high living standards, but such system is not practical in heavily populated & still developing India)
So it is all about understanding and ability of individual to respect the sacrifices made by parents and will to support them.
It is about individual's capability to handle responsibilities and care what their parents do they growing older.

I see it. After marriage, let the groom stay with the bride\\\'s parents. Since men consider themselves more accommodating, this arrangement would work in more than one way.
The wife would be at peace, since she\\\'s used to dealing with her mother. Besides, it would encourage parents to have a girl child and educate her well so that she can be self-reliant and independent enough to care for her family.
The son may visit his parents as much as he deems fit and contribute to their economic comfort every month. And if the wife feels her husband is trying to come between her and her parents, she can divorce him. The same system is being followed in Shillong, where bride choose her groom and when she think he is not good, getting divorced. and children remain with mothers.
